The Second Wind of the Aerial Leviathans is a series of true interlinking short stories and historical overviews focusing on a strange aeronautical era. They will help the reader unravel a confusing 30-year transitional time in U.S. airline history that started during the 1960s. This era was characterized by a glut of complicated, low-time, and cheap, large piston/propeller airliners (or "propliners"). These mechanical castoffs flooded the second-hand air transportation markets as the major airlines converted to jet technology almost overnight. The unintended consequence was a stampede of inexperienced wannabes that appeared out of the woodwork who were often willing to break the law for any opportunities to start their own airlines using these plentiful obsolete heavy aircraft for "no money down." Unfortunately, this caused an unparalleled era of disastrous air transport crashes that is hopefully to never be repeated. Yes, several highly experienced, legitimate operators of these old propliners were also flying passengers and freight during that era. However, such by-the-book operators faced severe regulatory hurdles that made it nearly impossible to stay in business much less expand, and where federal regulatory loopholes allowed the less-than-legitimate air renegades-and their deplorable safety records-to thrive and grow virtually unregulated. These interlinking stories feature the author's eyewitness accounts, focusing on the unending drama and legacies of legitimate St. Louis, Missouri-based operator Mark Aero, Inc. and its successor airlines-and the author's exploits that resulted. The reader will witness the great successes and overwhelming frustrations borne by Mark Aero and its sometimes out-of-control proprietors, founder Joe Morris and son Mark, the latter of whom shares his side of the story in "living color." Out of their frustrations, we will see the major contributions these two made to rebuild the entire airline industry for the better. Strap in! You're in for a pretty rough ride.

Daniel Mahan, der legendäre Schamane aus der Spielewelt von Barliona, hat seine Strafe in der virtuellen Realität verbüßt. Elf Monate voller virtueller Abenteuer und Schlachten statt acht Jahren in einem sehr realen Gefängnis, das ist kein schlechter Tausch. Aber so schnell lässt Barliona den Schamanen nicht wieder los.

Zuerst muss Mahan den Weg des Schamanen bis zum Ende gehen ...

Die Aufregung der Ereignisse im Dunklen Wald hat sich endlich gelegt, Altameda hat seinen neuen Eigentümer mit offenen Armen aufgenommen, und Geranika brütet neue Pläne für eine globale Vernichtung aus.Ob Mahan sich wohl mit seinem vorhersehbaren alten Leben zufriedengeben würde?

Eine neue Liebe? Nun, wir werden es einfach abwarten müssen, nicht wahr?

George R. Preedy is one of the pen names of Margaret Gabrielle Vere Campbell, the writer best known as Marjorie Bowen. First published in 1932, 'The Devil Snar'd' is an eerie tale of supernatural influence; it was described by the Daily Herald as a 'ghost story fit to stand beside The Turn of the Screw.' Grace Fielding and her husband Philip have taken a house-Medlar's Farm-at a remote spot in Northumberland to get away from London and repair their broken marriage. Philip is in love with Angela Campion, an actress much younger than himself, but Grace will not give her husband a divorce, and Angela will not have him without the prospect of marriage. Philip, a well-known author, intends to use the dark history of Medlar's Farm-a tale of adultery, jealousy and murder-to write his next book, but Grace, already unwell due to the strain caused by her husband's affair, begins to see parallels between her own story and that of the murdered woman, Susanna Vavasour, who she believes is guiding her actions. As Philip works on his manuscript, his behaviour becomes more and more suspicious, and as Grace's mental state deteriorates, a tale of adultery and marital discord soon becomes one of jealousy, obsession and murderous revenge. 'The Devil Snar'd' has not been reissued since its last publication in 1933. This edition includes an introduction by Gina R. Collia: 'The Many Masks of Margaret Campbell'.

A star princess must use her wits to survive in the court of a heartless demon king, while caught in a deadly romantic rivalry between his two sons.

Booker T. Washington was a towering figure in American history. His story from slave hut to university president is one of the most inspiring in American history. During the Post Civil War and Reconstruction Era, he founded Tuskegee Institute in 1881, and tirelessly labored to help his people in the South. He addressed thousands across the nation and met with renown leaders, such as John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and the Queen of England. He was the first African American to have dinner with a President in the White House. He overcame critics to advocate practical solutions to the pressing issues of his day. He was a man of faith. Historians refer to the years 1880-1915 as the "Age of Booker T. Washington." You too can be inspired by the strength and genius of Booker T. Washington! "Character, not circumstances, makes the man." "Success is not measured by the position one has reached in life, rather by the obstacles overcome while trying to succeed." "I would permit no man, no matter what his color might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him." "The surest way to lift up ourselves is to lift up someone else." "The happiest people are those who do the most for others." "Great men cultivate love ... only little men cherish a spirit of hatred." "The only way to show ourselves superior to others is to excel them in kindlier impulses and more generous deeds." "I learned to love to read the Bible ? No matter how busy I am, I always make it a rule to read a chapter or a portion of a chapter in the morning."
